keeps the reader relentlessly turning pages until the end. Riveting and highly recommended." James Cox, The Midwest Book Review.. "I enjoyed both of your books and think that you two have created what could be a marvelous franchise for a film and television property. Sean and Julie are strong characters. With Sean, you have an archetype that fits nicely into the hero's journey. He's a reluctant hero and Julie's younger character, a feisty Latina, spurs him into action. There's nice chemistry between these characters... they would be two meaty film roles." Scott Petri, Hollywood screenwriter
